Julie Reiner is a bartender who is owner and beverage director of Manhattan’s Flatiron Lounge (2003), and Brooklyn’s Clover Club (2008). Two of the most fabulous joints in the world.

Julie started her career when she was 18 years old by working as a cocktail waitress in Honolulu, where she was raised. She says that she was “always intrigued by what was happening on the other side of the bar, but there were no female bartenders at the place that I was working. I moved behind the bar when I was in college and never came out again.”
